Knowledge is an important thing to people, and adding to it is a great task to accomplish.
Also it may help a person who needs certain information.
Wikipedia is a free source of knowledge and deserves to be as good a possible; I hope to make it better.
To contribute to the comunity
Wikipedia is a community effort, that needs everyones collaboration to succeed.
Also, it is more than just text; it is the effort of people from every part of the world.
Many people believe that Wikipedia is "no good", and I'll try to change their minds by writing higher quality articles.
and to learn in the process
As I progress and grow I will aquire more knowledge naturally.
And Perhapse, I will learn more about myself along the way.

Len Deighton (born 1929) is a British author. His publications have included cookery books and works on history, but he is best known for his spy novels. He had several jobs before writing his first novel, The IPCRESS File, in 1962; it was a critical and commercial success. He wrote several spy novels featuring the same central character, an unnamed working-class intelligence officer. Between 1962 and 1966, Deighton was the food correspondent for The Observer and drew cookstrips – black-and-white graphic recipes with a limited number of words. A selection of these was collected and published in 1965 as Len Deighton's Action Cook Book, the first of five cookery books he wrote. Other topics of non-fiction include military history. Many of his books have been best-sellers and he has been favourably compared with John le Carré. Deighton's fictional work is marked by a complex narrative structure, extensive research and an air of verisimilitude. Several of his works have been adapted for film and radio. (Full article...)
